Math-Science 2. Technical 3. Skilled Trades Why did your scores suggest these clusters? When you completed the CDM interest survey, you expressed your likes and dislikes for many activities. These likes and dislikes were scored against six major interest areas or work settings - Crafts, Scientific, The Arts, Social, Business, and Office Operations. We can also describe personality in the same six ways. Research shows people look for and find satisfaction in work that agrees with their personality. Your high scores in Scientific and Crafts suggest a vocational personality that might find satisfaction in Math-Science, Technical, and Skilled Trades jobs. These are jobs that involve Scientific and Crafts activities. Scientific people often: put a high value on math and science are curious, creative, and studious like to work with theories or unproved ideas prefer to work alone High scorers on the Crafts scale usually: prefer to work with tools and objects rather than with people and words like to build things want to see practical results from their work enjoy mechanical activities like work that requires physical strength Career Exploration This Interpretive Report summarizes and explains your CDM results: Lists jobs typically found in career clusters your CDM interest area scores suggested you explore Compares your school subject preferences, work values, and abilities to those of workers in your suggested career clusters Helps you narrow down your career choices by learning more about yourself and how you can satisfy your interests and personality needs within the world of work.

5 Frequently Asked Questions 1. My report did not list some jobs in which I have a strong interest. How can I learn more about them? Jobs you say attract you can provide important clues to your future work, even when they were not suggested by the CDM. Be aware, however, that such jobs may involve activities you rated less highly than others in the survey. To explore jobs that were not on your lists, click here for an alphabetical list of hundreds of occupations. Scroll down the screen to find the ones that you would like to explore. Study them carefully looking at what workers do in the jobs, what skills you would need, what education/training the jobs require, and what their wages and outlook are. See how the jobs match your school subjects, work values, abilities, and future plans at the beginning of this report. 2. Why am I having trouble deciding on a career? Making a career decision doesn't happen all at once. It's a process that builds on acquiring self-knowledge, gaining experience, and exploring options. Much like buying a house or marrying, career decisions have long term consequences, since most of us spend a significant part of our lives working. Prepare to change jobs, even careers, often as you search for job satisfaction. According to a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, workers between ages 18 and 40 averaged 10.5 job changes. 3. What is the highest score possible on the CDM-R? The highest score is 40. If all your scores are below 10, it may mean you have not yet developed a definite interest pattern. This is often true of young people, who have limited experiences. However, low scores may be important. Speaking with a career advisor could help you understand why some of your scores are lower than you would expect. 4. How can I increase my chances of making good career decisions? Continue to study those jobs that especially interest you: review this report with your family, talk with people who work in the jobs, and visit them at work when possible. Seek the advice of career advisors and read as much as possible about the jobs. You will find materials in libraries and career centers at schools, colleges, and agencies. The Occupational Outlook Handbook, a book published by the U.S. Department of Labor, is especially valuable. You can access the Internet edition at Try to find related part-time jobs or volunteer experiences. Most employers place a high value on work-related experiences Remember that to succeed in a job, you must have the skills and education to do the job well. Interests suggest jobs you might like, but do not measure your abilities. Use the CDM job lists to find out exactly what skills, knowledge, and education and training are required to perform a job well. Consider how you can pursue your interests through hobbies and activities outside your regular job. For example, a pilot might satisfy a strong musical interest by playing the piano as a hobby. A lawyer who likes history could tutor students who find the subject difficult. Develop basic computer skills. Take advantage of every opportunity to gain computer literacy. Regardless of what work you do, chances are you will need at least minimal computer skills to perform the job. Get as much education as possible. The more skills and knowledge you have the higher your earnings are likely to be and the wider the range of occupations you will be qualified to enter. From time to time review this report. Look for changes in your career thinking as you gain experience. Remember you alone make the final choice. Others can only suggest alternatives for you to explore. There is no occupation that is for men or women only. 5. How do I improve my job search skills? You can find help at Job Search Skills, where you will learn how to write effective resumes, search out job openings, and interview successfully. There are instructions both for those new to the job market and for those more experienced. 6. What is the purpose of the "Contact Us" statement at the bottom of each CDM screen mean? By clicking on it, you can us with your questions and comments. We encourage you to send them along to us. Your suggestions often lead to CDM improvements.
